Batavus Path Racer

[BatavusRod]

This is my Batavus "wiegframe" bicycle project.

The plan is to build a Path Racer.
At this moment I'm bussy trying to find the right parts for this racer.
The frame is in bad shape now. Its going to the blaster and it needs some welding also.
Hope were able to safe it. :roll:

That is maybe the nicest frame that they ever did.

Nice!
Looks like a path racer already, flip the bars and be done with it.

Any progress?

awesome bike.

Very cool frame!

 

[BatavusRod]

@Rik- Not any progress yet.

The frame is still at the shop for some welding and sandblasting.
This is the style handlebar I'll try to find, it looks alot like a flipped "womens beachbike" handlebar from the '40s/'50s..

 

[BatavusRod]

Finally got it back from the welder/baster.
The frame needs alot of work, overall it's not that bad and it's saved

NICE! Seems you´ll be having fun with Bondo soon... :mrgreen:

 

[BatavusRod]

Yeb,

I'm going to build this one in the summer, so I can do the bondo thing outside :mrgreen:
For this winter I have enough fun with the Burco project.
